1. 認識這個詞(基礎(chǔ)篇)
詞:candidate
英英釋義:a person who applies for a job or is nominated for election
例句:So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.
2. 體會這個詞 (進階篇)
“candidate”是名詞豫喧,意思是“候選人迁央、應(yīng)試者虱朵、求職者狂鞋、人選”馋艺,具體意思要取決于上下文侧纯。比如競選總統(tǒng)的人就叫 presidential candiate;上完了博士階段的課程碍讨,正在寫博士論文的學(xué)生一般被叫做 doctoral candidate 或 PhD candidate治力;找工作的也可以叫 candidate。
candidate 是個精確勃黍、好用的單詞宵统,閱讀原版雜志和書籍經(jīng)常可以碰到這個詞溉躲。我們來通過幾個例句了解榜田、掌握它。
比如前不久美國前副總統(tǒng) Joe Biden 決定競選下一屆美國總統(tǒng)锻梳,我們可以說:
Joe Biden decided to run for prsident in 2020.
我們可以用 candidate 來改寫:
Joe Biden recently decided to join others as a presidential candiate.
好幾個博士候選人都放棄了博士學(xué)位箭券,跑到硅谷去創(chuàng)業(yè):
Quite a few PhD candidates gave up their doctoral degree and moved to Silicon Valley to start start-ups.
目前只有五個人對這個銷售職位感興趣,我們就可以說:
So far only five candidates have shown interest in this sales position.
3. 從認識到會用(作業(yè))
1)翻譯下面的句子:? ?
人才市場競爭太激烈疑枯,僧多粥少辩块。
(參考翻譯: There are far more candidates than jobs in the competitive job market. 或 In the cut-throat job market, there are too many candidates and not nearly enough jobs.)
2)造句:
她作為調(diào)劑生擠進了X大學(xué)研究生的候選人之列。
